    I guess I'm just an out-there kind of guy.

    I test rode a Pugsly and Ellsworth's new beach cruiser. I also did the Interbike Tour de Lake Mead on my Surly Cross Check SS. I started getting a little concerned when I didn't have to take a pedal stroke for the first 10 miles. It was an out & back with a 1400 ft decent in the first half. A bit of grind to get back up to the Outdoor demo area.

    They let me in and I'm a nobody. They just scanned my badge as I entered. Maybe it was a bit crowded so maybe they were just doing some crowd control when you were there.

    That's odd because I wasn't even there as a buyer. I was representing SHARE Mountain Bike Club and that's what it said on my badge.

    I am thinking to accomidate for chain growth cause of the rear squish. The derailure will have more range and strength than a standard chain tensioner
